For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might 20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:15-23 (NASB)

This is one of my favorite prayers. One of the greatest things we all need is to have our understanding expanded to believe what is true about God and us because of Christ. Below is a suggestion on how to personalize it. This is a prayer you can use every day.

Prayer

Father of Glory, please give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation so that I may know You better. Holy Spirit, open my spiritual eyes so that I will understand what is surely mine because of the calling You have given to me. Open my understanding so that I can comprehend more completely the glorious inheritance You have given to me as your son (or daughter) in Christ. Don’t let me take you or your blessings for granted or live in ignorance. Please open my eyes and heart so that I can understand and truly believe in your great power which is mine in Christ. Help me to understand and believe that Christ rules over all and that He shares His authority with me. Open my eyes so that I may see and believe that all things are under His feet, and, consequently, under mine; even though, it does not appear yet to be the case. Give me understanding of the glorious Headship of Christ over the church and over my life. Help me to willingly submit to His authority and rule every day. Amen.
